Gao Gong (1513-1578) was the character Suqing, the number Xuan, or Yuan. A native of Xinzheng, Henan. In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing (1566), he entered the cabinet, participated in the aircraft service, and was in Longqing

In the first year (1567), he resigned. After three years, he was appointed as a cabinet minister and served as the first assistant for five years. I left my job every year. The high arch is clearly talented

One of the politicians.

Joined the cabinet and participated in politics

Gao Gong's ancestral home is Hongdong, Shanxi, and the ancestors migrated to Xinzheng Gao Laozhuang to avoid the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Born in a family of eunuchs. Grandfather Gao Kui, raised people and officials during the Chenghua period

Ministry of Industry Yu Heng Shiro. His father was a noble and virtuous man, a scholar in the twelfth year of Zhengde (1517), and successively served as a judge in Shandong and a judge in Shaanxi

etc., to Guanglu Temple Shaoqing. Gao Gong received a strict family education, "five years old good couple, eight years old to recite a thousand words". Slightly longer, that is, to study the scriptures and study hard

Ask. At the age of seventeen, he was in the township with the "Book of Rites", but after thirteen years on the road of the imperial examination, he was admitted to the Jinshi and was elected as a Jishi. Jiajing

In the twenty-first year (1542), he was appointed as the editor of Hanlin, and after the annual examination, he was promoted to Hanlin to study. In the thirty-first year (1552), King Yu (later Mu Zong) opened his residence

After that, the high arch head was elected and entered the house to speak. At this time, the imperial prince had been dead for two years and the new prince had not been built, and King Yu and his half-brother King Jing both lived in the capital

When the king of Liyu, and Sejong seems to be the king of Jing. King Yu's future is uncertain, and the court is full of speculation and discussion. The high arch enters and exits the palace, and the multi-faceted adjustment

Protection, to King Yu a great relief.

At that time, Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Jie, the second assistant, were rolling against each other, resisting the day, and the high arch calmly went back and forth between the two, and there was no thickness.

The two of them were lecturers for King Yu because of their high arches, and they would have a day in the future, so they were also quite important to him, and sometimes even avoided a few points. Shi Yan Song's power was scorching, and he got the slightest

The sin is not great, but the high arch is not very scrupulous. Once, he used Han Yu's poem "The big chicken comes proudly, and the little chicken is terrified" to ridicule Yan Song when he saw his hometown

Yan Song not only did not blame when he heard the arrogance of the bureaucracy, but was disgraced by it. Under the recommendation of Yan Song and Xu Jiexiang, Jiajing was thirty-seven years old (1558).

Gong Qian became a bachelor of Hanlin attendant.

Gao Gong spent a spring and autumn in the palace of King Yu, and was promoted to Taichang Temple in the thirtieth year of Jiajing, and was in charge of the country's sacrificial wine. During the year, Gao Gong taught the scriptures

Feast, perfunctory, cautious. Yuwang was deeply instructed. The two have established a deep relationship between the king, the minister, and the teacher-student. After Gao Gong left the palace, "Mansion affairs."

No size, (King Yu) will make the envoy ask", King Yu also successively handwritten "inspire Hongduo", "Huaixian", "loyalty" and other words gifted. Following

King Jing entered the country of the domain, and the status of King Yu as the heir began to become clear, so the relationship between Gao Gong and King Yu not only made Gao Gong's boss and colleagues scratch him

looked at each other and flocked to him, and it also laid the foundation for him to play a great role in politics in the future.

In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), the left waiter of the high arch promotion department was also a bachelor. In the following year, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Reform was still a bachelor and was in charge of Zhan affairs. He counts

The deputy or deputy chief will take the examination, and the model chapter for the imperial examination written is quite praised. But once in the question, "I was disgusted with words", and I almost had a dismissive. Xu Jie

Only by coming forward to defend can things be slackened. In the forty-fourth year, King Jing was in the domain, and the status of King Yu was established. The high arch ascended to the Ministry of Rites, summoned into the Zhilu, and saw it in green words

Pet, get a flying fish suit. In March of the forty-fifth year (1566), he was recommended by Xu Jie, and was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Yuange University.

The high arch looks strange, is bold and talented, and quite self-promising. As soon as he entered the cabinet, he wanted to show his ambitions. At that time, Sejong lived in Seongwon for a long time, and the minister took the lead

It is proud to be summoned to Zhilu, and there is something wrong with the cabinet. Sejong said, "The cabinet administration could have been done by one person." The first assistant Xu Jie and the "Prime Minister of Qingzi" Yuan Weiyi

I can't leave Sejong for a while, so I don't go to the cabinet for office. Gao Gong said to Xu Jie: "Old A.D., often straight. Not only with Li (Chunfang), Guo

(Park) two public wishes for one person in the day, and the story of the pavilion. Although Li Chunfang entered the cabinet early, he has always been very respectful to Xu Jie, "If you belong to the side."

Officials". Guo Pu and Gao Gong were newly admitted to the cabinet at the same time, and they were both recommended by Xu Jie, so they seemed to be more humble in response to the ranks. Gong said bluntly, Xu Jie, "No."

Le". Gao Gong and Guo Pu are both Henan folk songs, "the two of them are very happy", Xu Jie was not happy after knowing it, so the mustard gradually knotted. Not a few, the clerk gives

Hu Yingjia played the impeachment of Gao Gong. First of all, Gao Gong was over half a hundred years old and had no anxiety under his knees, so he moved his home to the vicinity of Xihua Gate, and Zhilu often secretly went home to reunite with his wife and concubine. Once, when he heard that Sejong was in critical condition, Gao Gong hurriedly took out all the books and utensils in his house. Hu Yingjia played this

Impeachment: "At the beginning of the Gong Auxiliary Administration, that is, to take the Zhilu as the pass, move to Xi'an Gate, and sneak back at night", "The emperor violated the peace, and the ministers called on the heavens to ask for the time, and the arch."

but for the sake of calculation, and what is the mind." Gao Gong was afraid, fortunately Shizong was ill and did not deepen his responsibility. But Gao Gong took Hu Yingjia as a native of Xu Jie, and his impeachment was Xu

The order was intended to report to Shizong, so it is suspected that Hu Yingjia was instructed by Xu Jie, which added dissatisfaction and resentment towards Xu Jie.

In December of the forty-fifth year (1566), Sejong died, and Xu Jie and his protégé, Zhang Juzheng, who had just served as a lecturer in Yuwang's Mansion, drafted an edict, but they were not the same

Conspiracy. Under the edict, Gao Gong and Guo Pu were stunned. Gao Gong thought that he was the new emperor's minister, but he didn't know anything about the edict, so he had a grudge with Xu Jie

Deeper. After Mu Zong ascended the throne, Xu Jie's Shuode veteran was still in the first auxiliary position, and Zhang Juzheng was introduced into the cabinet

On issues such as whether the minister should go to court and ask for a ruling, the number of people fought against Xu Jie, and the contradictions became more and more superficial. In the first month of the first year of Longqing, Hu Yingjia said

Lu thought that it was out of high arch fingers, so he attacked it in groups. Ouyang Yijing impeached You Li and compared Gao Gong to Cai Jing. Gao Gong was very angry, please Xu Jie

Those who intend to impeach the cane, Xu Jie. Gao Gong was forced to retreat, but Mu Zong refused to allow it. Xu Jie succumbed to the emperor's will, and also intended to comfort him, but he never condemned it

Yanguan, Gao Gong became more and more angry, and once openly fought with Xu Jie's tongue in the cabinet. Gao Gong attacked and said: "Gong was the first emperor to guide it as a word for flattery. Miyache

As soon as you take it, you will pull it. Now he is talking about the way and expelling the ministers of the heart of his vassal state, why not? "The cross-examination is menacing. Xu Jie replied slowly: "Husband."

There are many words, and I can end them one by one, and I can make them attack the public. And I can tie it up, but I can't tie it up? And he said, "I am not."

Betraying the first emperor and making the first emperor blame himself with a testament is a ...... for the first emperor to win people's hearts. As for the matter of fasting, Xu Jie confessed that "because of my sin". But he asked rhetorically

Gong: "When I was not recorded in the Ministry of Rites, the first emperor asked me with a secret message: 'Gong is sparse, and I am willing to serve in fasting, can I allow it?' 'This is still alive today!' "High arch

Suddenly, "cheeks are red", and a battle was lost. But Gao Gong was not reconciled, he attacked Xu Jie's brother and his family for rampant lawlessness in the township, and

instructed his protégé Qi Kang to impeach Xu Jie. Xu Jie's argument and begging. At that time, Xu Jiezheng was dismissed as an official when he reinstated Sejong after his edict, and he was accepted by the minister of the ministry and the official of the department

's gratitude and support, the power is scorching, so please stay in Xu Jie, and also go to Xu Jiedi to persuade things collectively, and in addition, Qi Kang and Gao Gong are guilty, even more

To the cluster, he spat and insulted Qi Kang and Gao Gong. Within three months, there were more than 30 recitals on the impeachment of the high arch, and the high arch was not at ease, and even the twelve,

Called sick and begging. Mu Zong couldn't stay, so he allowed him to return to his hometown to recuperate with the titles of young master and wife, Shangshu, and university scholar, and sent pedestrians to escort him. Qi Kang sat down

was transferred, and Guo Pu soon returned to the country.

Heavy for the first auxiliary

In July of the second year of Longqing (1568), Xu Jiezhishi. In the second year, Zhang Juzheng conspired with the eunuch Li Fang and others to ask for the restoration of the high arch. In December of that year, after neglecting the high arch for more than a year, regardless of the severe cold of the wax moon, he went straight to the capital day and night, and re-appeared on the stage as a scholar and a master. There are many gaps between the original road and the high arch, so many people are not at ease. When Hu Yingjia heard that Gao Gong had made a comeback, he was frightened and died, and Ouyang Yijing also died of depression on the way back to the field, and people were panicked for a while. Gao Gong spread remarks through the heart of his protégé, appeasing the officials of Yanlu and saying: "Huating has old favors, and it is not enough to complain about the small losses after the loss." "Gong should wash his heart and cleanse his worries, so as to rule the dynasty with all the kings." The words are conclusive, quite generous, so people's hearts are a little calm. After Gao Gong came to power again, he devoted himself to national affairs. He is "talented, heroic and vigorous", and he is honest and unconventional, and has made many achievements in the governance of officials, border preparation, and administration. At that time, Gao Gong was a cabinet minister and a consul minister, and he had a heavy responsibility. He "manages cabinet affairs in the morning and looks at the affairs of the ministry at noon", and is very diligent. He believes that the job of a minister is to know people, but it is not easy to really understand a person and use his strengths. At that time, the morale of officialdom was declining, and being an official was just hunting for nobility, "those who are powerful and powerful are envious, those who are upright and outspoken, and those who are degraded and rubbed are light", which is not based on behavior and morality. As a result, the officialdom is "unclear and unreasonable", and officials are capable of running and being clever. In this regard, Gao Gong established a strict official inspection system in the Ministry of Officials soon after he arrived: "Grant the Department to the nationality, make the department virtuous or not, and the surname of Zhijue", which is collected once a month, and handed over to the Ministry of Officials by Gao Gong himself. At the end of the year, all the books will be collected by the officials and used as the basis for the dethronement of officials. The world is governed, must be widely selected talents, Gao Gong saw that the world Kegong accounted for seventy, the system of science is only three, but the imperial court re-system of the department and light Kegong, he thought that "worship the third and abandon its seven" is a mistaken move, should be Jinshi, lift people and use both, but the virtuous is to see, the amount is hired. However, he also advocated that "those who are over 50 years old should be appointed as miscellaneous officials, and they should not be the heads of prefectures and counties", because the governors of prefectures and counties are the officials of local parents, and their responsibilities are arduous, and only those who are energetic can bear them. He also believed that the state must accumulate a wide range of talents, and it is too late to find competent people when it is needed, so he put forward the idea of preparing talents: "Now in the most important officials, each of them should choose those who are suitable for this place, and every thirty or two people will be placed in a similar place, and the second will be prepared." Once there is a shortage, there is no shortage of people. He also openly recruited talents, and explicitly ordered the selection of divisions, "where there is a shortage, all are exposed, so that the public can see it", and each department can recommend candidates. In the past, the officials promoted officials, only a few personnel, very secretive, Gao Gong did the opposite, said: "There are waiters in the hall, there are staff members outside the department, and they are all listed and things are not heard, why live here, but want to do their private ears." I'll change it. He asked people to carry the mound to the back hall and ordered it to be uncovered in public, "that is, the mound slaughter wants to have something up and down." For the deposed officials, Gao Gong must personally "tell the reason", and the deposed ones "are all convinced". At that time, Ma Zheng and Yan Zheng were regarded as idle situations, and the imperial court was light, so they lost people and abolished things, making "good governance unheard". Gao Gong observed the situation, knowing that the second political official of Ma Yan was in a poor and bitter cold place far away, and it was difficult, so he proposed to change the honest and talented people in this province to let them go, and to lenient the amount they paid. If it is excellent, it will be super promoted. Its official weight, horse and salt two politics should be self-cultivation, which is beneficial to the country. Gao Gong also formulated and adopted a number of systems and measures aimed at strengthening the inspection and selection of talents, "opening the example of the prince's internal transfer, recovering the rules of studying, correcting the difference between impeachment, checking the fact that the Beijing official examination is completed, dividing the meeting of the jinshi to teach the law, determining the promotion of the jinguan, and discussing the qualification of the division to catch the thief." All of this was carried out with the permission of Muzon. As a result, there was a new atmosphere of excitement from all levels of the court and all kinds of officials. According to the old practice of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet auxiliary ministers, "if they are also elected, they are the real prime ministers, and they are strictly forbidden by Emperor Gao", but Gao Gong first took charge of the ministers and then took charge of the ministry for three years. The high-arch image of film and television dramas

During the Longqing period, the northern Mongol Tatar tribe was still constantly disturbed, and border troubles became a heavy burden on the imperial court. As an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, Gao Gong also regards the preparation of the border as his own responsibility. In the later period of Jiajing, Xu Jie's border defense rout caused by Yan Song's reign was compensated, and a group of brave and warlike generals were selected to go to the border to resist the enemy. To cure the evils of the high arch, we should first focus on the use of people for border defense. The military department has always had only two attendants and assistant ministers, and due to their busy schedules, they rarely patrol the border affairs in ordinary times. But when there was a shortage of governors on the frontier, they had to go to make up for it. If you can't get out, you have to ask another official to be moved. Those who go are not familiar with border affairs, and often make things twice as effective with half the effort. So Gao Gong proposed to add two squires to the military department, mainly to patrol the border affairs, understand the situation, and be very familiar with the dangers of the border, the urgency of the situation, the virtuous generals, and the strength and weakness of the soldiers and horses. In this way, there are people in charge of border affairs, and if there is a shortage of governors, they can also be filled immediately. Gao Gong believes that "soldiers are specialized studies," but now the military department often "does not select their own people" in the personnel of the military department, and outstanding officials and generals are often transferred to other officials. He proposed: The reserve of the own soldiers should start from the subordinates of the military department, and the border generals should be appointed by the subordinates of the military department. Those who have chosen to be resourceful and capable must not move at will. Squires and governors should be changed frequently, so that they are familiar with each other's situation, and if there is a shortage of scribes, they can take up the position. This was indeed a good strategy to strengthen the military armament, which was praised by Mu Zong, and later "the choice of the border military commander was taken". Gao Gong also visited the officials of the border area, guarded the border guard for many years, "waded through the desert", "in and out of the front", but their salary and promotion were the same as those in the peaceful environment in the interior, "and even later". He thought that this was extremely unreasonable, and suggested that border ministers should be given special favors, "meritorious deeds should be given unforeseen favors, and those who are deficient should be promoted without inferiority", so that merit and fame would always come first, and other officials should not compete with them. Those who have made outstanding achievements in the border ministers should be more sympathetic, generous and generous, and regularly give leave orders to return to the office to rest, "so that their spirit is not tired, and their wisdom is inexhaustible", so that "the king of diligence will be rewarded". While strengthening the strength of the border generals, Gao Gong, like Xu Jie, also saw the important role of the border area in defense. For a long time, those who served as such frontier magistrates were either miscellaneous or evicters. The court didn't care about them, and they were treated very poorly, so they were not motivated. And "the border side has a division, there is the responsibility of the frontier, the talented are worried, that is, the courtesy and encouragement, hesitation", Gao Gong so "please choose a young and strong, talented and martial arts person, call the person who can protect the poor and the poor and be happy", as the border side has a division, with a three-year period, than the mainland super promotion. If there is military merit, it will not be promoted, in short, "only to govern the effect, not to follow the qualifications". All these have effectively encouraged the enterprising spirit of the generals and commanders of the border and the border commanders.

Gao Gong has courage and knowledge. At that time, the person who took over Xu Jie's first assistant was Li Chunfang. Li Chunfang is a generous person, who is honest in politics and does not do anything in a serious way, although he does not make any mistakes, he always seems to be bold and talented. Gao Gong was the heart of Mu Zong's minister, and he took the world as his own responsibility and played a role that Li Chunfang could not play. In August of the fourth year of Longqing (1570), there was a police in the north, and the high arch was based on Shangshu Chen Xixue, Cao Bangfu, and the squire Wang Xuan each led the division to back the city and lined up; Guarding the mountain mausoleum with Jing Yin Li Yonglu and the imperial history of the southern capital; Liu Tao also raised the imperial history to guard the grain in Tianjin, and the governors Wang Chonggu and Tan Lun were recruited to suppress the inward; Serve as a squire and take care of the army's salary. Due to the careful arrangement and strict precautions, the Mongol soldiers did not dare to invade.

In October, because of a conflict with his grandfather, I led ten people, including Aligo, to ask for surrender. The governor Fang was at the right time, and the governor Wang Chonggu advocated surrender. On the performance, there were many discussions in the court, and most of them thought that the enemy situation was unpredictable, and they could not rashly take in Hannaji. Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng unanimously supported the opinions of Wang and Fang, and asked Mu Zong to add the command of Naji, and "serve him with food", treat each other with sincerity, and win his heart, Mu Zong's will. Then Gao Gong ordered the ministers to let Hannaji wear brocade clothes, ride a Chinese chariot, ride a good horse, and walk in the market with a hug. I was deeply moved by the fact that I knew that the Ming court treated his grandson well, so I decided to make peace with the Ming Dynasty and ask for tribute. Together, the court was in a boil, and the opposition cited the example of the Song Dynasty to make peace. Gao Gong first took advantage of the opportunity to inspect the science and road, and will vigorously oppose the dream bear that has formed a good relationship with me to "demote the second level and transfer to another position" to quench dissent. He also sent the old cabinet to hide the stories of the ancestors and the Tatar kings, and selected the military department. He also said that it is up to people to seek their own opportunities, and to seek their own opportunities for themselves, and now it is up to me to seek the initiative, and I should be allowed. He also said that this time I agreed to ask for tribute, "compared with the previous years of the call for the customs to ask for 10,000 times different", "so directly accept and seal the tin, you can show that there is no other way to the map." This notion of Mongolia and the original as a whole is a cut above the idea of Tubianan alone. Gao Gong criticized the opposition: "How can they benefit the country? The vain thought is important, I am afraid that it will not work, so leave it for the afterword! Then there was no one who dared to reply. In March of the fifth year of Longqing (1571), the Ming court named me the king of Shunyi, and the leaders of other departments were also named the commander of the governor, a thousand households, and a hundred households. In August, the Ming court allowed to exchange markets with me.

At that time, the governors of the three sides of Shaanxi did not want to pay tribute to each other. The high arch is intended to be responsible. Soon, the three sides of Shaanxi also opened the city of tribute. "In a few months, the three regions were undisturbed, there was no dust to disturb, the border hooligans released and hoeed, and the city was extinguished and rested", which basically ended the situation of nearly 200 years of soldiers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian Tatar tribes.

In the case of the Manchu Dynasty dispute, Mu Zong's ability to solve this legacy of the previous dynasty so quickly and satisfactorily is inseparable from the strong praise of Gao Gong and others. In the process of negotiating tribute, Wang Chonggu, the governor of the main tribute city, once begged to go in people's words, and after Gao Gong knew, he praised Chonggu in the imperial court on the one hand, and on the other hand, he repaired the book Chonggu with illness: "But the peace of mind is free, and there is no need to worry more about this matter", so that Chonggu was greatly encouraged and relieved. Fang Fengshi had met with me to answer the next person because of the tribute, and was impeached, saying that he "communicated with the envoys, screened the people's words, led them eastward, and blamed the neighboring towns". Gao Gongli rebuked his fallacy, "Fu Chen set up a strategy on the spot, how can he leak it", protected Fang Feng from being degraded. Mu Zong used the arch to "be loyal and far-sighted, and his achievements are commendable", and he entered the high arch young master and wife's teacher, Shangshu, and changed to build a scholar of the Jidian University.

The tribute has been completed, and Gao Gong is still in danger in peace, worried that the border soldiers will be negligent and steal peace because they have nothing to do, and then the border preparations will be bad. He has always advocated that "I will not be guilty of others, and I shall not be committed; Don't be afraid of others, don't be bullied, don't be bullied", emphasizing self-improvement. So he went up again, "Please send a special minister every year to read the four times, and look at the past with the present, the geometry of the money valley, the geometry of the soldiers and horses, the whole geometry of the equipment, the other tuntian salt methods, and the expansion of all things", and clearly open the report, if there is any gain compared with the past, it will be rewarded with the same merit as the past wartime capture; If it is only maintained at the previous level, the sin will be punished as if it were a lost opportunity. of Upper Jana. The Ministry of War then formulated specific measures one by one. In the following decades, the northwest frontier was always stable and free of major disturbances, which was also a major policy. The high arch has also made a lot of achievements in the border affairs of the two Guangzhous in the south and Yunnan-Guizhou. At the beginning of Longqing, Wei Yinbao, a member of the Zhuang tribe in Gutian, Guangxi, and others opposed the Ming Dynasty, and there were many times to suppress them, but to no avail. The high arch rose again, and recommended Yin Zhengmao as the governor to suppress. Zhengmao is strict in law and good at fighting, but he is greedy. Gao Gong said: "I donate a million gold to Zhengmao, and half of those who are drowned can be done." In fact, while using Zhengmao, he has focused on promoting and cultivating talents in this province, and in the two counties and counties, he has "divided more departments, broadened their recommended quotas, and not limited to a number" to guide the people's upward trend. Soon, sure enough, "the chaos of the people and the joy of the people turned into a dissolution". At that time, people were good at using people with high arches. In the fourth year of Longqing, Guizhou Fuchen sued the local official An Guoheng for rebellion, please go in. Gao Gong did not believe what he said, and after in-depth investigation, he knew that "the national tycoon is not a rebel, and the governor listens to slander to be lucky", so he sent a special person to appease and relieve the suspicion, avoiding a war and fighting.

Arbitrary solicitation

Gao Gong worked hard, and within a few years, his political achievements were outstanding, and he was on his own. But he is a little self-apologetic with his talents, and he is bullying, "Sex is urgent, he can't tolerate things, and he can't hide and need to endure, and if he touches it, he will be broken." Every eye glares, and the evil voice follows, that is, the left and right are easy to remove", very domineering, this is the other side of him. It was this side that caused the feud between him and his colleagues, which led to the discussion and caused the tragedy of being expelled in the future. First in July of the fourth year, Chen Yiqin, a bachelor who was also an old bureaucrat of Yufu, had a small suspicion with Gao Gong, and saw that Gao Gong was indispensable in the cabinet, and he was afraid that he would not be tolerated in the end, so he retreated bravely and led to illness. Soon, Zhao Zhenji, a scholar of the Zhangdu Procuratorate, was asked to stop because of his personal regrets. Gao Gong was displeased, and leaned towards him, scolding his protégé and impeaching Zhao Zhen Ji Yongheng. Zhao Zhenji also resisted the impeachment of Zhang. Mu Zong's high arch actually made Zhao Zhenji Zhishi. Zhao Zhenji once asked Li Chunfang to conspire with the capital procuratorate to curb the power of Gao Gong because of Gao Gong's cabinet and the power of the prime minister, and Li Chunfang allowed it. Zhao Zhenji went, Li Chunfang was uneasy, and Li Chunfang had a gap with Gao because of Xu Jie's affairs, so he returned to the field in May of the fifth year. Gao Gong took over as the first and became more and more arrogant. Shi Yin Shi Danfu entered the cabinet as an auxiliary minister. Shi Dan is also a colleague of the high arch of Yufu, and he has not been promoted for a long time because he does not bend the high arch. After taking the decree into the cabinet, the high arch is not pleased. Later, someone impeached Gao Gong's henchman Zhang Siwei, Gao Gong suspected Yin Shidan's command, and threatened Han Ji. Yin Shidan couldn't bear it, and criticized him in front of the cabinet: "If you chase Chen Gong first, then Zhao Gong, then Li Gong, and then me." If you can sit on this seat for a long time? "After that, he threw a fist and hit the high arch. In November of the fifth year, Yin Shidan was also expelled. In this way, except for Zhang Juzheng, the old auxiliary was rejected by the high arch. The high arch is in the best class, commanding, and specializing in the national handle. However, Gao Gongxin always has an unresolved grudge, that is, he is angry with Xu Jie, who bombarded him out of Beijing and his officials. In April of the fourth year of Longqing, he transferred Hai Rui from Yingtian to the title of Nanjing Qing because of Hai Rui's impeachment of his old grievances. Soon, he was reappointed and forced Hai Rui to "return from illness". He also "did everything he could, and all those who offended the ministers in the first dynasty were hired by the edict to give gifts, and everything was repaid." In the winter of the fourth year, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were imprisoned, which had nothing to do with Gao Gong, but he "thought that he would ask the chief writer of the court trial", and said, "I am ordered to treat the Ministry of Officials, and everything is my business, and I must be affectionate." In fact, it was specially adapted for Wang Jin's case. Wang Jin was a priest at the time of Sejong, who was arrested and imprisoned by Xu Jie, and the law of the law was judged to kill his father, and Gao Gong defended it unremittingly, and then avoided death by reducing the army. The original cabinet had a special office for writing affairs, and there were ten people in the preface class. After Gao Gong recovered, ten people were full of exams for a long time, but because they were Xu Jie's subordinates, Gao Gong ignored them. Ten people begged to come to the door. Gao Gong smirked and said, "I have a response, and I will not let Ruocao have the envy of a dwarf", and under the order, ten people were transferred to the product and were ambassadors of the remote warehouse. Only this can be seen, you can see the ingenuity of high arch planting. Despite this, Gao Gong still does not understand his hatred, "Specializing in the cultivation department, everything he talks about wants to be a step, and his sin is serious." After Xu Jiezhi became a master, he managed the industry in the township, and let his younger brother run rampant in the township, causing the hatred of the local people. Gao Gong personally entered the discussion of Xu Jie: "The former university scholar Xu Jie, (after being released), should be afraid of himself when he closes the door, and he can be quiet and self-nourishing." Fu He since the abolition of the industry, the insatiable goods, thousands of miles to open shops in Beijing, even if it stirs up the money and grain, the goods will be equal to the internal money, the flames are burning in the world", and even "so against the clear will, (people) sneak to the Beijing Division, forcibly obstruct the lyrics, listen to the news, everywhere, spread the reputation, trace their actions, and there is no general also." Then the high arch "talked about the road". In the fifth year of Longqing, Gao Gongqi restored the Suzhou prefect Cai Guoxi as the deputy envoy of Su Song's military garrison, and instructed him to govern Xu Jie's younger brother poorly, "the three steps are all in the system, and it is planned to use the city Dan, reform its shade, and enter the field of 40,000 acres in the official." Xu Jie was embarrassed and helpless, so he had to bow his head to the high arch, "from the sleepy book arch, his words are sad." At this time, Zhang Juzheng also used the step of "calmly as an arch", implying that he weighed the pros and cons. Gao Gong was relieved to see that Xu Jie's general trend had gone. After the revenge of one arrow, he suddenly became generous, and repaired the book, saying, "From now on, the original and the centimeter will abandon the past evil, restore the old good, and no one who makes excuses can be agitated again." At the same time, he sent letters to Su Song's officials one after another, instructing Xu Jiesan and his family to be lenient and decent, and criticized Cai Guoxi's recital: "It's too heavy, so change it." The reason why Gao Gong is willing to open up to Xu Jie's net is that seeing Xu Jie's tragic situation, it is inevitable that "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and it is not without the pain of injury", and repairing it can appease the squire of Su Song and improve the relationship with Xu Jie's old bureaucracy. The high arch's reversal made "Cai Guoxi change color when he heard it, and said that the public betrayed me, so that I was gracious and self-gracious."

Driven back to the field

In the first month of the year of Longqing (1572), the high arch was the pillar country, and he entered the pole hall and became a scholar. But he was even more bossy. In addition, his protégés Han Ji and Cheng run to his door day and night, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and he specializes in playing, and everyone is evil. Gao Gong was still holding Qing Cao at the beginning, and then gradually became extravagant, often saying to people, "I don't give it every day, but what?" When the protégés and subordinates heard about it, they vied with each other to contribute, "accepting and collecting", so they were criticized. Wang Hui of the imperial history sneered at current affairs, spoke even high arches, and high arches summoned and scolded him, and urgently made up for Ningxia's affairs. Shang Baoqing and Liu Fenyong also went up to rectify the arch, and Cao Daye resisted the impeachment of the arch for disloyalty, and there were ten things that Gao Gong took revenge with his authority, rejected the good class, overpromoted his relatives and protégés, and opened the door of bribery, etc., Mu Zong did not listen. Both of them are outside the country.

Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong are the old wings of the old Yudi, Zhang Juzheng is planning to arch high, and Gao Gong is also called Ju Zhengcai, and the two are still friendly. The high arch sat on the seat, and Zhang Juzheng followed with his shoulders. The high arch mostly clashed with the same column, and Zhang Juzheng retreated alone and did not intervene. For Zhang Juzheng, who is outstandingly resourceful, he is unwilling to be subordinate to others for a long time. His retreat and not fighting was just a strategy, and Gao Gong was not aware of it. In the fifth year of Longqing, Zhang Juzheng sarcastically arched for Xu Jie's three things. Gao Gong's subordinates rumored that Zhang Juzheng was bribed by Xu Jie's 30,000 gold, and Gao Gong did not distinguish between truth and falsehood, so as to criticize Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng was angry, and Gao Gong also suspected that Cao Daye's music was instructed by Zhang Juzheng. The two separated from each other, and Zhang Juzheng's idea of chasing high arches gradually strengthened, so he secretly married the eunuch Feng Bao to borrow your strength to do things. Gao Gong is the author of "The Last Words of the Sickbed" in four volumes

In May of the year of Longqing, Mu Zong gradually summoned Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng to enter. Mu Zongzhi arched his hand and said: "Mr. the world is tired", and the cabinet was ordered to take care of it. The celebrant of the time gave the edict, and there were two edicts, one for the emperor; A high arch was awarded, and there was a discussion between the cabinet and the celebrant Feng Bao. The high arch recognizes its correction. Before long, Mu Zong collapsed, and Shenzong ascended the throne. Shenzong Youchong, Feng Bao relied on the power of the Queen Mother and held the young emperor hostage. Gao Gong wanted to punish the dictatorship of the officials, and said five things, asking the priest to supervise the power, and returning it to the cabinet, and instigated the subordinates to impeach Feng Bao. Gao Gong wanted to do this with Zhang Juzheng, so that people said: "You should make this immortal contribution with the public." Ju Zhengde quickly reported to Feng Zhi. Before Feng Bao lobbied the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor, he falsely accused Gao Gong of bullying too young, wanted to abolish him and set up the king of Henan Zhou, and won the duke himself. Feng Bao bought the two palace attendants again, and replied, "The queen and the concubine were stunned", so he decided to arch each other. The next day, he summoned the ministers to enter, announced the two palaces and the emperor's edict, and blamed Gao Gong for abusing power and no king, counting his crimes and expelling him, and returning to the field on the same day. Gao Gong Yuan was full of thought that the edict must be chased Feng Bao undoubtedly, and the edict was declared to chase himself, the arch was nothing less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, "the face was like ashes", "the sweat was like rain, and it could not get up". Zhang Juzheng tucked him up. Early the next morning, the firewood cart was on the way, and it was quite desolate to embark on the return journey.

When he returned to his hometown, Gao Gongyi was complacent, "a corner scarf and a cloth suit", not talking about state affairs, and "closed the house but with more than 80 volumes of books under the broom". Unexpectedly, Feng Bao harmed Gao Gong's heart from dying, and created the king's minister incident, wanting to put Gao Gong to death. Yang Bo, the secretary of the ministry, Ge Shouli, etc., knew that there was a false accusation, and tried to save it, and Zhang Juzheng Yishu comforted each other, but stopped. The high arch is spared. But since then, he has become frightened and sick, and he has collapsed. In the fifth year of Wanli (1577), Zhang Juzheng returned to his hometown of Jiangling, Hubei Province to bury his father, passed by Gao Gong's hometown, and made a special trip to visit Gao Gong. The two hid their faces and cried when they saw each other, and they were full of emotion. Gao Gong died at home in December of the year of Wanli (1578) at the age of ten. Buried in the northern suburbs of the county, the old tomb village of Jinge, the family of Gao Gong was invited by the compassionate pawn, only because Feng Bao was in power, and was allowed to be half buried. Confession. After Zhang Juzheng's death, because of Emperor Wanli's liquidation of Zhang Juzheng. More than 20 years later, Gao Gong's heir was sparse, and Shenzong gave the restoration official a gift to "Gao took the responsibility of surrendering, and the northern captives were called ministers, and the merit was indispensable". In the thirtieth year of Wanli, the edict gave Gao Gong as the Taishi. He is the author of "Gao Xiang Gongji". [1]

Only to learn the works

Gao Gong is good at reading, but he is not good at words, but he is deep and powerful. He has written a lot of books, including ten volumes of "Questions and Distinctions", one volume of "Spring and Autumn Righteousness", one volume of "Benyu", five volumes of "Bian Luo", four volumes of "Lun Fei Manuscript", thirty-four volumes of "Zhangquan Inscription", four volumes of "Nangong Song", four volumes of "Government Answers", one volume of "Lun Hu Ji", four volumes of "Cheng Shi Ji", two volumes of "Foreign Volume", ten volumes of "Rijin Zhijiao", four volumes of "Dedication Collection" and so on.

Character evaluation

Gao Gong was not only a capable politician, but also made achievements in the study of academic thought. He was not confined to the pre-Confucian doctrine, thinking that "those who cannot be obtained cannot be forcibly obeyed." directly reprimanded Cheng Zhu Lixue for "thinking that people are far away and think that they are heavenly principles"; He very much agreed with the view of the contemporary thinker Wang Tingxiang, who believed that reason lies in things, and there is no reason if there is nothing to do. He has a unique set of views on the word "right", comparing "right" and "scripture" to "hammer" and "balance" on the scale, and the relationship between the two is "the right to cover the scripture is determined, the right is the indefinite scripture, and there is no certainty, and in order to seek its determination, its determination is the right also." That is: the right and the scriptures are the unity of opposites, everything has a scripture, and the implementation of the matter should be taken seriously, so that the right and the scriptures can be unified. On the issue of "righteousness" and "profit", it is believed that "if you are out of righteousness, then profit is righteousness; As long as the relationship between justice and profit is placed, it is not bad to speak for profit, and denounced the pedantic view of "the king does not speak of profit". He also believes that it is precisely because the predecessors failed to grasp this relationship that "the strategy of the economic system is ignored and ignored", and those who are good at managing money do not listen to it, which brings disaster to the country and the people. He himself attaches great importance to financial management, attaches importance to government affairs related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and advocates pragmatism. His academic thinking is the ideological root of his exercise of government affairs and his achievements.
